The subject plat is generally located one mile north of the corporate limits—north of NW 126^th Ave and west of NW 16^th St (NW Irvinedale Dr), adjacent to Lincoln Cemetery. The property lies within the state statutory two-mile subdivision review area for the City of Ankeny, and is located within the City of Ankeny planning boundary.

This 73.08-acre plat area is zoned under Polk County as AG, Agricultural District. The proposed plat redefines the two current parcels into one 6.80-acre lot for the existing residence; and one 66.28-acre outlot for the associated farmland. The proposed development will continue to utilize on-site wastewater treatment and Des Moines Water Works water service. The plat area is indicated in The Ankeny Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map as Low-Density Residential, Medium-Density Residential, High-Density Residential, and Neighborhood Mixed-Use. If annexed into the City of Ankeny, street lights and sidewalks will be the responsibility of the property owners.
